1. Opportunities for Precision Agriculture in SerbiaThe aim of this paper is to analyze the factors leading to low adoption rate of precision farming in Serbia and to describe steps being taken by BioSense institute to increase it. The majority of the arable land in Serbia is grown by small family owned and operated farms most of which are in the range of 2 to 5 ha making them highly unsustainable. Only 16% of the arable land is managed by agricultural companies and cooperatives. We believe that the adoption of advanced technologies with the currently... A.C. Tagarakis, F. Van evert, D.

2. Evaluation of Nutrient Intake in Sheep Fed with Increasing Levels of Crambe Meal (Crambe Abyssinica Hoscht)The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of increasing levels of crude protein (CP) substitution of the concentrate by CP of crambe meal (CM) (0, 25, 50 and 75% dry matter basis) on consumption of nutrients. Four rumen fistulated and castrated sheep (18 months old on average and initial body weight of 50 kg) were used distributed in a 4 x 4 Latin square design with 4 treatments and 4 experimental periods (repetitions). Diets were balanced to meet requirements for minimum gains of... K.K. De azevedo, D.M. De figueiredo, M.G. De sousa, G.M. Dallago, R.R. Silveira, L.D. Da silva, R.A. Santos |
3. Levels of Inclusion of Crambe Meal (Crambe Abyssinica Hochst) in Sheep Diet on the Balance of Nitrogen and Ureic Nitrogen in the Blood SerumCrambe meal, which is a co-product of biodiesel production, is a potential substitute for conventional protein sources in ruminant diets. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the substitution of crude protein of the concentrate by crude protein of crambe meal with increasing levels (0, 25, 50, and 75%) on nitrogen balance and blood plasma urea nitrogen concentration in sheep. Four male sheep, rumen fistulated, were placed in metabolic crates and distributed in a 4 x 4 Latin... K.K. De azevedo, D.M. Figueiredo, M.G. De sousa, G.M. Dallago, R.R. Silveira, L.D.

4. Efficiency of Microbial Synthesis and the Flow of Nitrogen Compounds in Sheep Receiving Crambe Meal (Crambe Abyssinica Hochst) Replacing the Concentrade Crude ProteinThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of increasing levels (0, 25, 50, 75%) of crude protein substitution of the concentrate by crude protein of crambe meal on microbial protein synthesis and the flow of microbial nitrogen compounds in sheep. Four rumen fistulated sheep (18 months and initial average body weight of 50 kg) were distributed in a 4 x 4 Latin square design. Diets were balanced to meet the requirements for minimum gains, containing approximately 14% crude protein and... K.K. De azevedo, D.M. Figueiredo, G.M. Dallago, J.A. Vieira, R.R. Silveira, L.D.
